Nikki: 'Ulrika's turned on me'

Nikki vented her frustration at her deteriorating relationship with fellow housemate Ulrika last night.

"Why has Ulrika turned on me today? What have I done?" she asked Victor and Nick, as the trio sat chatting on the sofas.

"I think she's just PMT," said Nick, but she hit back: "Yes but she's become best friends with Chantelle. It's really upset me, actually."

Nick explained possible motives behind the former Gladiators presenter's change in attitude. "If you were playing the game to the full extent you would become friends with the people who are the most vibrant... She made a beeline for Josie when she first came in," he pointed out.

"But she kept saying that she wants to leave," argued Nikki.

"She wants to leave but she wouldn't mind winning," corrected Victor, as the 28-year-old complained: "One thing I don't like is inconsistency. When I'm friends with someone I'm consistent. I don't like being picked up and put down."

She also admitted that she was hurt by Ulrika and Brian's insistence that Chantelle should take the lead in the majorette task, after she had made it clear that not only was it her favorite task ever, but it had also originated in her series.

"Surely I should be at the front. It's from my year. And yeah, I could have put my hand up and been at the front. But I thought, 'Oh my God, they blatantly want her to be at the front.' I was so upset," she said.

"You should just have said that - exactly what you just said there," Victor told her.

"No, it's bad enough how it is now and nothing's even been said," she justified. "But she was so nice to me for the first few days. If they're nice to me, I'll treat them nicely back. And why has she suddenly made best friends with Chantelle? I don't understand."

Nick concluded: "She will perceive, I guess, that Chantelle will probably have the best chance of staying on Friday. So she's aligning herself with someone that she thinks is popular."
